A private boat from Amalfi delivers you to Santa Croce, a small, boat‑only bay framed by sheer limestone cliffs. Spend a relaxed day on a reserved sunbed, swim in clear water and enjoy a fresh beach lunch—ideal for a stress‑free Amalfi Coast escape.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung hull parts Amalfi’s morning traffic and the coast unfurls: vertical limestone cliffs slip into blue-green water, gulls quarter the air and the captain points toward a small cove—Santa Croce—accessible only by boat. The approach is cinematic: cliffs push the horizon into a narrow ribbon, and the bay holds its calm like a pocket of Mediterranean light.

Book the earliest departure
Morning crossings usually deliver calmer seas and the best shade options on the beach before midday crowds arrive.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
The bay’s clear water and marine life benefit from mineral sunscreens; apply before boarding to reduce residue in the sea.
Bring water shoes
The shoreline is pebbly and the seabed rocky—light water shoes make entries and exits more comfortable.
Watch weather and sea forecasts
Operators may cancel in bad weather; check local wind (scirocco/maestrale) and sea state before your day out.
Light daypack or dry bag
Keeps valuables and a light layer dry while moving between boat and shore.
Water shoes
Protects feet on pebbly shore and rocky seabed when entering the water.
